VIRTUAL High 5 Friday

Submitted by bart.thompson on

Fridays at DFJHS have become known as High 5 Fridays this year.  Well, that doesn't seem to be the best of ideas at this point in time... However, we don't want to lose our social connectedness, despite "Social Distancing."  So, we're doing a VIRTUAL High 5 Friday on Instagram!  

To participate, take a picture of yourself giving a virtual High 5 and post it to Instagram using the hashtag #dfjhshigh5.  We'll pick a random winner from those who post and send them a Fiiz Drinks Coupon!
